Treyarch has formally unveiled Black Ops 6 Zombies, the highly-anticipated return to the round-based, zombie-slaying motion Name of Obligation has been lacking for a number of years. That is greater than only a new episode of Zombies, nonetheless, itβs a contemporary begin in a variety of methods.
Whereas the story itself could also be a continuation of the Darkish Aether timeline from Black Ops Chilly Conflict, a number of the gameplay, high quality of life, and behind-the-scenes tweaks are fully new, and will make for a rewarding expertise for veterans and newcomers alike.
Treyarch revealed a number of updates coming to Zombies that ought to make the expertise extra rewarding, customisable, and provide some clear upgrades over all earlier iterations. As a result of an web connection is required to play Zombies, thereβs now an array of choices that ought to assist with saving and restoration.
For starters, Zombies now has non-public matchmaking, that means anybody can be a part of their good friendβs non-public sport (assuming thereβs room and the host permits it). Extra importantly, nonetheless, solo gamers can now pause and save their match, and cargo it later to select up the place they (roughly) left off. In truth, for those who sit idle lengthy sufficient, the sport will mechanically save your match.
When saving manually, you simply must be sure to are at full well being, and arenβt downed or useless. You can alsoβt save after calling the Exfil helicopter. Seeing as Zombies is now always-online, this implies solo gamers receivedβt should lose their progress, ought to their web – or Activision servers – run into any points. For squad gamers, video games will now proceed to run – as long as the host is energetic – permitting anybody who disconnected to rejoin and proceed taking part in with their squad.
Black Ops 6 Zombies continues the standard of life practice with a wholly customisable HUD, which you’ll change to match the legacy look (eradicating the minimap), or tweak every particular person part of. Meaning turning sure components off/on, altering their colors, and extra. One factor I’m particularly enthusiastic about is the flexibility to show off Pack-a-Punch weapon camos, so weapons can proceed trying like weapons and never toys.
Zombies additionally helps third-person for the primary time, and you’ll swap to that perspective at any second, together with which shoulder youβre aiming from. All that and extra might be accessible at Black Ops 6βs launch on October 25 on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Sequence X/S.
